Finally available for purchase: the sparkly and happy (and yes, perhaps slightly impractical) Miu Miu peep-toe booties we’ve been eyeing hungrily since they marched down the Fall 2011 runway.

(Buy here. Wear with this.)

Despite loving much of what we’ve seen come down the Spring 2012 runways thus far, we at Thread are feeling most inspired at the moment by taking a look back. What’s old will always be new again, we long ago decided.

(From top: Charlotte Rampling, Francoise Hardy, Margaux Hemingway, all from the highly addictive The Impossible Cool.)

…and as done by us. (That’s our little lace-y number on the top right.) Don’t know about you but just looking at this page makes us want to get out the black eyeliner and put on some Serge Gainsbourg.

(Buy dress here.)

…twice tomorrow, that is. The first showing is circa 8:30am, so we suggest grabbing that cup of joe and tuning into HSN while the getting is good! After all, one of the items is already almost sold out and we haven’t even gone on air yet.*

(For those of you who can’t catch the first showing, switch that cup of coffee out for a glass o’ vino and tune in at 8:15pm!)

If so, please be sure to stop by and say hello to Beth & Melissa at our pop-up shop in Southampton! Oh, and Thread Social Fall 2011 will be there for you to say hello to as well, and at a discounted price, no less.

(Preview some of the Fall pieces available here.)

Yes, we are referring to the funny people-filled movie that hits theaters tomorrow night. (Maybe only because we don’t have a brother?) In any case, we highly recommend going to check it out since it indeed looks hilarious. And also, naturally, because the darling Zooey Deschanel dons at least one of our favorite little Thread Social dresses during said movie, as seen above.

As you might recall, we designed a couple of small collections for HSN in the past, in conjunction with our pals over at Lucky and their Designer Capsule Collections. Well, good news, ladies: Our little Lucky collections did so well that we’ve now partnered with HSN on our very own! SO, presenting: Thread by Thread Social. Chic, affordable pieces, all inspired by the Thread Social silhouettes y’all love.

(Collection available for sale online at HSN.com now, but you simply must tune in on August 31 and catch Beth & Melissa launching the collection on-air! Don’t worry: we will remind you as the date gets closer. Oh, and get this beloved gem here.)

…but if we must, we can at least focus on the fun aspects, right? Such as freshening up ye olde wardrobe with some of the delicious fall pieces Beth & Melissa chose for ThisNext.com. Our favorite? That co-zy Stella McCartney sweater. (Aside from the two Thread dresses, naturellement.)

(See full collection here, and check out our fall collection here.)

Coming into work on your 30th birthday (30! gah!) to confetti, balloons, candy, presents, cards and flowers galore on your desk. Wee!
